IGNOU MBA Project (MMPP-001) – Synopsis, Report & Guide Assistance

Detailed Guide Bio-data: Information IGNOU Asks For

If you propose your own guide and a signed bio-data is required, the document should clearly mention the guide's name and date of birth, full home address, current workplace address and contact numbers. Educational details should include each degree, specialisation, university or institution with address, year awarded and marks percentage. Work experience should be in chronological order with designation, period, employer name and contactable organisational address. Other evidence relevant to eligibility, including the current business card if available, can also be attached.

The PDF requires the guide's original signature and date on the bio-data. It also explains that approved Management Programme academic counsellors do not need to supply separate guide bio-data. Do not replace the required signatures with an unsigned résumé.

MMPP-001 Project Proposal Approval Proforma: Every Field Explained

The supplied guidelines include the university's “Proforma for Approval of Project Proposal (MMPP-001)” on page 11. Complete the form carefully, use the same approved project title for your final report and attach the synopsis and eligible guide documentation.

Additional instructions printed with the Proforma

The guide's address should be clear. If the guide is an IGNOU Academic Counsellor, state the centre and courses handled. The university asks supervisors to guide no more than five projects at a time. The form should travel with the synopsis and signed guide bio-data where that document is required.

Registration expiry and re-admission

The PDF refers to the MBA programme's four-year maximum duration. If this duration is over, students should seek re-admission before sending a new synopsis. If a proposal had been approved under an earlier enrolment number, approval must be sought again for the new enrolment number; otherwise, the project report may not be accepted.

This page explains the fields for students. Use the actual approval proforma supplied in the 11-page MMPP-001 guidelines, not a self-created replacement form.

Certificate of Originality: What the Official Format Says

Page 9 of the supplied MMPP-001 PDF provides a model certificate confirming that the titled project is the student's original work, is submitted towards the IGNOU MBA degree and has not previously been submitted to IGNOU or another university/institution for fulfilling a course requirement.

Before printing and binding

Use the approved project title, check the project report's pagination against the contents and place the approved proposal, approved proforma and guide bio-data inside the bound volume rather than attaching them loosely with staples. The report must also contain the signed and dated originality certificate. The university may return incomplete submissions for compliance.

Exact Postal Marking, Tracking and Result Instructions

Synopsis envelope and communication

For an ODL synopsis sent physically to the relevant Regional Director, the PDF asks students to write “MMPP-001” prominently on the envelope. Send only one copy and keep another copy of the complete proposal for your records. Locate the correct Regional Centre through the Student Handbook and Prospectus or the official university's Regional Network.

Project report envelope and dispatch

For the ODL physical report, mark the envelope “PROJECT REPORT-MMPP-001”. Submit one original, A4-size, double-spaced, properly bound report to The Registrar (SED), IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi – 110068, by Registered Post, Speed Post or by hand. Retain your own copy because reports submitted for evaluation are not returned to students.

Follow-up reference and contact

After the report is submitted, a Project Report Number (PR No.) is allotted. Use it when writing to the Student Evaluation Division about that project. The PDF lists projects@ignou.ac.in and phone numbers 011-29571324 and 011-29571321 for project-report status queries; these contacts are reproduced from your document, so check whether they remain active before relying on them.

Result declaration windows

The PDF says a report submitted 1 December to 31 May is considered with the June Term-End Examination results; reports submitted 1 June to 30 November are considered with December Term-End Examination results. This is a result-cycle explanation, not a guarantee of the exact individual result date.

Online MBA learners use the LMS route stated in the PDF. The supplied PDF does not establish any mandatory student project-evaluation fee amount, so this guide does not invent one.

Rejected Synopsis: Exact Resubmission Paperwork

If your project synopsis is not approved, the Regional Centre communicates comments. Prepare the revised proposal and submit a fresh Project Proposal Proforma, plus a copy of the rejected synopsis and its earlier proforma showing the evaluator's comments and the Project Proposal Number (PP No.). These records help the centre understand what has been corrected.

When your supervisor is changed

If IGNOU does not approve the proposed guide, or you decide to change the guide, the revised submission is treated as a new project proposal. Use a new proposal approval proforma carrying the new guide's signature; the new guide must satisfy the relevant eligibility and subject-experience requirements.
